“I’m so honored and grateful for the support of the scholarship committee. The grant from Women of the Vine & Spirits and the McBride Sisters Professional Development Conference Award will provide me with an opportunity to attend ProWein Duesseldorf, where I will engage European producers in a conversation about my local market and explore professional opportunities to present the wines and culture of the German-speaking world to the trade and consumers in the United States.”
